Revenue (× MLF)

Estimated $ per interval using regional RRP and MLF effective on each day.

Methodology & assumptions

Dispatch & availability — AEMO Next Day Dispatch UNIT_SOLUTION (5‑minute intervals). Intervention intervals excluded.
Regional price — dispatch_price RRP matched by settlement time and NEM region (from generator registry).
Revenue (× MLF) — cleared MW × (5/60 h) × RRP × MLF. Chart uses MLF effective on each interval’s date; summary total uses MLF as at the end of the selected period (same as the revenue list).
Curtailment — estimated economic curtailment when availability exceeds dispatch target: max(0, availability − cleared) × (5/60) MWh.
Not settlement — estimates only. AEMO settlement applies DLF, rebids, constraints, and other factors not modelled here.

Financial overview

2026 real AUD. Monetary values are CPI-adjusted to 2026 real Australian dollars. Greenfield capex uses AEMO benchmarks when plant-specific cost is unknown.

Capex total (greenfield)	$325.82M How this was derived The article reports the financial close transaction value for the whole Bango Wind Farm, not separately for BANGOWF1. Reference Bango Wind Farm reaches financial close (medium confidence)
Capex refurbishment	—
Capex / MW	$2,049,180 How this was derived Squadron Energy’s project page confirms the full Bango Wind Farm capacity used to calculate the per-MW capex from the reported project value. Reference Bango Wind Farm (high confidence)
Capex / MWh storage	—
Fixed OPEX (annual)	$3.98M How this was derived Annual fixed opex is calculated from the GenCost default and BANGOWF1 capacity. Reference nemo.costs.gencost API documentation (medium confidence)
Fixed OPEX / MW-yr	$25,000 How this was derived The NEMO documentation implements CSIRO GenCost series defaults and gives an onshore wind fixed O&M value of 25.0, interpreted as A$/kW-year. Reference nemo.costs.gencost API documentation (medium confidence)
Variable OPEX / MWh	$0.00 How this was derived No project-specific VOM was located, so the GenCost onshore wind default of zero is used. Reference nemo.costs.gencost API documentation (medium confidence)
Fuel cost / GJ	— How this was derived A parliamentary research paper supports treating wind fuel cost as not applicable. Reference Australian electricity options: wind (high confidence)
Heat rate GJ/MWh	— How this was derived Because wind turbines do not consume thermal fuel, heat rate is not applicable. Reference Australian electricity options: wind (high confidence)

Notes
The only specific capex found was for the overall Bango Wind Farm project: AUD 500 million total project value for a 244 MW construction-ready project. Because BANGOWF1 is the 159 MW Bango 973 feeder within the full Bango project, capex_total_aud has been pro-rated as 159/244 of AUD 500 million. Fixed and variable O&M are not disclosed for Bango; the values use the AEMO/Aurecon 2024 onshore wind benchmark of AUD 28,000/MW-year and variable O&M included in fixed O&M. The planning Environmental Management Strategy states a 25-year operational phase, while the current Squadron project page says wind turbine design life will be at least 30 years; use 25 years for conservative financial/economic modelling and note possible repowering/life extension. No major refurbishment is reported as completed; decommissioning or upgrades/repowering are expected at end of operational life.

Latest AI note (4 Jun 2026)

BANGOWF1 is the larger DUID within the 244 MW Bango Wind Farm project. The only located capex figure is a reported project-level value of A$500 million for the 244 MW Bango Wind Farm at financial close in 2019; capex_total_aud is prorated to BANGOWF1 using 159 MW / 244 MW. Fixed and variable O&M are not project-specific; they use CSIRO GenCost 2023-24 onshore wind defaults of A$25/kW-year fixed O&M and A$0/MWh variable O&M. Asset life has conflicting project sources: the 2022 Environmental Management Strategy states an expected 25-year operational phase, while the current Squadron project page says turbine design life is at least 30 years and then repower or decommission. No major refurbishment has been found; closure/decommissioning is expected at end of useful life unless repowered.
